I noticed that everytime I send a sms from my contacts their names are not shown and only their number. Is there anyway the names of contact appear instead of their number?
Thank You.

I'd like to know if this is possible too. Come on u techies, let us mere mortals know if this can be done and if so how? or should that be how much? :wink:
Re: Bump
Search for Paragon Software sms_name.
The program sms_names will only show the names of contact when a sms is recieved. It does'nt help in showing the names of your receipient when sending the message to them. Their numbers are shown instead of there names.....
I have to double check if the number appearing matches to the name of the contact.
you can tab & hold on a contact then select "Send sms" ... this will display only the number ... but in an empty sms if you click the "To" field and type the first 3 letters and then select the name this will display the name as well ... weird but true!!
Thank you for that advice . It did work. One more question. How do you do it if you would like group sending?
Thank you.
unfort. there is no concept of groups in pOutlook ... one good trick would be selecting the required names then copy the "To" part and paste it into a text file for future usage
SMS Group
There is the way to send sms to group. I should
1. buy Pocket Informant
2. create groups
3. check numers belong to certain group
4. hold and click Extras-Send SMS
This procedure will open inbox with checking contacts.

Dear Forum
Do you know if there is a simple way to send to many people with one click an sms?
Does the capability of group contact exists? how?
Please advice.
try going into contacts and make it display the group you want to sms
so you can do that in the left corner of the contacts window
then you open your keyboard and press ctrl + A
then it mark all the contacts being displayd
then you tab and hold on them giving you the option list
then you choose send sms
or what ever it's called
then you get a sms msg window with all the nr.'s
Its nice. I try it....the downside, is not usuful with forwards, but is better than nothing.
Thanks for your reply.
Hi,
On my MDA, when I go to the contacts, I don't see the phone numbers but only the name of them and it's well (I have choosen to display them like this in the options)...
But when I want to send a SMS and I go to the contacts by this way, the name AND the phone number is displayed ?!?!
How can I only display the names in the sms application too ?
Thanks in advance...

You can't, as this view does not have any option to choose which number should be used. So it displays the contact one time for each attached number.
hi im new to WM5, i used to have a nokia smart phone. i wanted to know how i can send sms messages to muliple mobile phones quickly. without having to continually going through my contact list and selcting each one, one at a time. thanks.
At the "To" line, type the name (or some letters) of the first person, select the contact from the list that appears, press enter, a ";" appears after the name, which means you can enter another contact after that.
Good luck with the Windows Mobile Experience!
re: send sms messages
thanks alot. by the way is there a way to set up a group of conacts. to speed things up.
easiest way is to set them in outlook
try o2smsplus
I have an O2 atom exec.When a missed call occurs, if that number belongs to an old contact, I do not know how I add that number to the old contact. if I want to add that number to the old contact, it seems there is no way to add, it only let me open an NEW contact but I do not want to save that number as a new contact, because it belongs to an old contact. Is there a way to add a missed call number ( that is shown in the call history ) to an old contact? Please help me...

hi,
I don't think there is any way to update a contact with the number in the phone history - this is a basic function on all other phones (nokia etc). Here's what i do...
Tap on the contact in the phone history and click on the "send text message" pop up. The contact number is now displayed on the sms screen in the TO column. From here, you can cut and paste anywhere!
I have another problem with my phone.
It doesn't show sms senders name. The sender IS in my contact list, but still, it doesn't show.
Some registry tweak or what?
I tried searching, but "name" and "no" are not included in the search
Some registry tweak or what?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
by default no, it works automatically, maybe you have the contacts list with spaces in the number ?!
related question:
I get an sms from a person not in my contacts list, i select to add it and set a name, but in Pocket Outlook i keep seeing just the number... is this correct? in my K800i once i add the contact in the address book i see name in sms list.
I have absolutely no spaces in numbers.

Still need help.
